in reply to Variable Unusable?

probable error 
   push (@detected_sections, %section_int);

you probably meant \%section_int

another error here 

$report->{'sections'} = @detected_sections;

an array in scalar context returns the number of elements in the array, you probably meant \@detected_sections, and you probably meant 
foreach ( @{ $self->{'sections'} })
{
  ..use $_ here to do stuff..
}

    Thanks!
    That seemed to do the Trick!

    I do know what the \ does normally. But I don't see why I'll have to use References here? Also the @{} thing is new. I guess I'll spend NewYears reading the Camel book.

      You have to use references to the arrays and hashes because scalars can only contain scalars and references are scalars.
